"No food, no drink, no watermelon." That's what one staffer at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts allegedly told a group of black students on a field trip to the arts institution.
About 30 seventh-grade honor students from the Helen Y. Davis Leadership Academy were visiting the museum last week as a reward for high academic achievement, but left feeling they were the target of harassment and racial insults. "It's sad that although our students are well behaved and our teachers are well educated, that we are still seen as less than and as criminals," Marvelyne Lamy, a seventh grade English teacher at the school, wrote on Facebook about the visit.
